The Kiss
25 x 27 x 17cm
Glazed stoneware with copper lustre
The Kiss draws on the materiality of clay and glaze to explore representations of femininity in a rural landscape. Rural small towns present challenges to young women, in particular those who do not conform to the more traditional ideologies of who young women should aspire to be and their roles in relationships. The Kiss conceptualises the tension between a wider global understanding of womanhood and the challenges women face in learning to embrace a sexuality not tied to motherhood and domesticity.
This work was an early experimental work made in 2024 whilst I was developing the aesthetics and techniques now employed in my textured exhibition works. An exhibition work in its own right, it was exhibited within the 2024 touring group show Terrain and the Ipswich Art Awards of the same year.
